For the Robotics Team at my school I am creating a site.What I'm going for is to create a good template that can be used each year anc customized to fit each specific contest that comes up.The old site is: HereAs you can see, its not very good, and is way to contest specific(each contest is different, requireing a different robot)I need some Ideas on what to do.

I wouldn't give your website too much cred Allsort haha, kidding man. But Going intog graphic design come fall and currently taking 3 art classes, I can tell you some things to make your website even better:
-Tone down some of the colors: Orange on blue doesn't work well (hard to read) but otherwise, just soften some, make it easier on the eyes
-Most of the links give you a URL error, are you aware of this?

As for you Neo, creativity can't be taught. You experiment and see what looks good and what looks like crap, all experimentation. A website is visually apealing if:
-Text is easy to read/there aren't pages of solid text, nobody will read it
-Colors are soft/not too distracting from what the viewer should be looking at
-Links that go places, or at least "Coming Soon!" not just blank pages with nothing
